WRECKED BY THE WIND.
A FURIOUS STORM ALONG THE
COAST-GREAT DAMAGE
AT NORFOLK.

NORFOLK, VA, October 81
One of the severest wind aud rain
storms that has ever visited this
section since the gale OF August,
1879, began yesterday, and has
continued ever since without inter-
mission. All outdoor business,
especially around the wharves, is
almost entirely suspended. Many
trees, signs, shutters and fences
were blown down. It has been one
week to-day since the sun showed
its face to the people Of this sec
ton, and this morning the rain
was mixed with snow. Tides are
the highest since the August gale
1879. All the lower streets in the
city are flooded with the back
water, and are impossible to foot
passengers. The Eastern Shore
steamers we're compelled to return,
being unable to make their usual
trips. The wind has been blowing
forty miles an hour, and is est.
mated at Cape Henry at sixty. The
broom factory Of A. p. Gree and
the stables of the Seaboard Rail
road in Portsmouth were blown
down. Several vessels have been
blown ashore at Swimming Point,
and a slOOp is across the draw of
the western branch draw bridge,
preventing all traffic. The fence
and grand stand Of the Gymnasium
Park crashed through the parlors
of private residence on the east
side of the park to-day, carrying
away portion of the building and
damaging valuable furniture. The
steamer Jane Mosely arrived here
to-day from Washington, with port
bulkhead stove in, boat smashed,
and with three feet of water in her
hold. Captain John Foster, of the
burned steamer Avalon, of Balti-
more, which put in here today in
tow of the tug Peerless for vii.
mingt0n Del, had his right arm
broken while attempting to adjust
a hswser which had parted during
the gale. All outgoing steamers
are detained here.

A GIRL IN PRISON FOR LIFE.
SHE KILLED HER FATHER, WHO
HAD WHIPPED HER FOR NOT
GOING TO CHURCH.

TRENTON, GA, October 30
There is girl named Leila Burgess
serving a life term in the Dade
county coal mines, the story of
whose crime is somewhat strange.
Her father, James Burgess, lived
near Martin, IN the western part OF
the State. He had two daughters,
the Youngest of whom was Leila.
About three years ago he joined
the church and became a regular
church attendant. He was panied
70 see that his two daughters, now
grown to young wOmanhOOd, did
not care to attend the religious
services with the regularity that he
did, and where all should have been
concord the bitterest kind Of dis.
cord grew mp. After a while Bur
CESS told the girls that revival
was about to open, and that he ex-
pected them TO attend every ser
vice, and if they did not there
would he somebody to whip. For
three mornings the girls failed 10
appear at the "sunrIse' meetings.
On the fourth morning Burgess
pulled the girls out of bed and
began to chastise one of them
severely. When he had beaten her
into submission, he began on the
other. Leila, who was the FIRST one
chastised, slipped out of the room,
procured an axe, and with one
stroke buried the edge of 1t in her
fathers skull. The cash was five
inches long and penetrated the
brain half an inch. Afterward the
girl sat looking sullenly at the dead
body of the father, obliviOus OF the
crowds which pressed in to behold
the scene Of blood. She was con-
yicted Of the highest grade Of
manslaughter, and took her place
among the cOnvicts uncOmplain.
iDgly, merely saying that she would
commit the crime over again before
she would be compelled to go to
church so early in the morning.

year ago he attempted to send his
son 10 the white school, and the
Board of Education refused to adj
NIT him, because they claimed he
had colored blood in his veins. The
constitution of this state does not
permit white and cOlOred children
to attend the same school. Being
refused admittance for his child,
the doctor Immediately sued out a
writ of mandamus TO compel the
trustees to admit him. Upon the
first trial before the justice he was
defeated, ard he appealed the case
to the Circuit Court of the county.
The trial lasted several days, and
in every way the commissioner tried
to establish the fact that the child
was of African blood. Failing to
do so, "A verdict was given for the
doctor. He claims that he has not
a drop of African blood in his veins,
but that he escaped from the Chip
pewas when he was eight years
old, and went to Washington city.
From there he came to this state,
where he has since lived. The case
attracted much attention, and prom

both sides.

near Brightin. Religious exercises

of whiskey was brought to the
ground and drinking became gen.

the drunken men in the congre.
CATION would like to talk as much
as the preacher in the pulpit. The
meeting was soon turned into a
scene of confusion. When the
preacher attempted to enforce order
a free fight ensued, in which pis.
tolls, razOrs and pile poles were
used. Blood flowed in streams,
and as the lights were turned out
friends could not be distinguished
from foes. When order was finally
restored it was found that Jacob
Jackson, one of the elders, was
killed by a pistol ball in the head,
and six others were so badly cut
and injured that they will die. The
meeting adjourned without cere-
